Apaches on a Spree.

No drink-loving old topers ever en-
joyed their liquor so much as have the
Apaches whenever they could procure
it, vice, however, that is rapidly sub
siding as the tribes are concentrated
at agencies more directly under the
eyes of watchful authorities. Mezcal,
made from that plant by the Mexicans,
found its way in days gone by when
population was scattering and the law
lax, into Apache maWs with every
trade and dealing between the two
races. From corn they made fer
mented drink called tiz-win, which is
not as strong as the corn whisky of
civilization, but their peculiar method
of drinking it compensates for its lack
of strength. For some three days be-
foreit has reached its highest point of
fermentation not single piece of food
is swallowed. At the end of that
period they fill themselves to their ut
most capacity with the unclarified tiz-
win. Although half starved, it takes
but few moments to make them feel
as if they had major-generals rations
for six months previous, while the
most conspicuous effect is to swell their
bump of combatiyeness to an inordinate
degree. If large number have in
dulged in this liquor, serious outbreaks
and disturbances are almost sure to
ensue. especially if other bands of
Indians or any whites are near enough
for them to reach before this temporary.

The Eccentricities of Herr Krupp.
The following stories OF the late Herr
.n,,,

The following stopleS OF tAe late herr
Krupp are curious:
1t was standing order to all those
who surrounded or approached him
that the word ..death" was never to be
mentioned OF referred to in CONVEX
sation within the precincts of his great
establishment. Some years ago re-
lation of his wife's came to stay with
him. and was taken suddenly i'll and
died. When Krupp heard of it he fed
Immediately to the neighhoring town
of Dusseldorf, and would not return
until after his relation had been duly
buried. This very naturally led TO a
scene with his wife, the result being
that they separated. Mrs. Krupp
went to 1--we at Dresden, and not even
the entreaties of their SON prevailed on
Herr Krupp to see her before he died.
The same stubbornness was shown by
him when his SON Fritz, who contested
the parliamentary borough (Essen) at
the last general election in the interest
of the G0yernMent, was defeated by
the ultra" orasalepioal party" Herr
Krupp issued an edict that no employe
should take into his cottage or read
the local papers of the Ultramontane
party. "A few days after this edict a
poor workman being found wrapping
up his '.Butterbrod" in sheet of this
journal was Instantly dismissed.

COrean Habits.

The spoken languages of China,
C0lea, and Japan are all totally differ.
ent, yet the Chinese written language
is classic for all of them, and common
ground on which the educated classes
can meet. In everything the Coreans
lean more toward their western neigh.
bors than to the eastern ones, and con.
servatism is stronger than any spirit
of progress, except for coal-oil and
matches, Few foreign goods are seen
in the open shops and out door markets,
and no Coreans are seen in foreign
clothes. It'almost cost a progressive
minister. his head when he had the big
square sleeves of the soldiers coats
trimmed down to a reasonable bag.
giness, and although it saves yards Of
cloth and miles of cash strings to the
king each year, the offense is hardly
forgiven. The Chinese taunt the
CoFean soldiers with wearing foreign
dress; but a civilized tailor would die
at sight of it.
A Corean soldier wears first his full
!. Corean costume of white cotton, loose,
baggy, and comfortably Tapping in
each breeze. Over this undress uni
form he puts pair of purple cotton
trousers and short black coat bound
with red worsted braid. His black
felt hat is bordered with the same braid,
and the red tapes tie itfast under his
chin. He wears a cartridge-beltand a
tobacco pouch, and carries his Reming-
ton rifle in anyway that seems con-
venient to him at the time-at shoulder
arms, upside down, or caught in the
middle of the stock, like dude cane.
He carries his long-stemmed Corean
pipe in the gun-barrel, and while
marching the streets or at parade rest
uses his fan vigorously.
To see the Corean army in its glory,
one should witness one of the kings
professions when his majesty goes out
to visit one of his palaces or worship
his ancestral tombs and tablets. Every
few weeks there is stir at the an
nohncement that the king will leave
the palace on a certain day and
progress by a certain route. There is
excitement among the mandarins then,
and the sheds and houses that have
been permitted to grow up in the
streets are swept away overnight The
streets Resume their proper width, and
the king, being none the wiser. thinks
that his capital always wears that look.
A trail of red sand is sprinkled in the
middle of the street to mark the royal
route. and the army musters and the
populace assemblies along that line.
The kings professions are as brilliant
and picturesque in some ways as any
thing that other capitals can offer, and
such Corean fete day is worth coming
far to see. The people alone in their
white. pale-blue, bright red, and green
clothes give picturesqueness and color
TO the scene, and when every dingy
wall, tiled.or thatch roof, and every
open space is Kaleidoscope with them,
it hardly needs the gorgeousness of
the army, the palace guards. and the
mandarins' suites to add to the scene.
